Youth Transition Services

Program Course Check List – YTS / WWK

Youth Transition Services (YTS) works with young people of all ages who have no identified path to permanency and helps transition them into whatever the next chapter of their life looks like. For a majority, that next chapter is adoption, and for others, that next chapter may be guardianship, reunification with a bio parent, or another plan. YTS carries secondary assignments on Permanency Planning cases with a workload standard of 16 children/youth, and area assigned to youth with a case plan goal of adoption, and all youth with a case plan goal of Planned Alternative Permanent Placement, PAPP. YTS predominantly uses the Wendy’s Wonderful Kids evidence-based model for building a youth’s natural network and can also use general recruitment as a secondary effort. While YTS supports all forms of legal permanency as well as recognizes the importance of relational permanency, they would love for every youth they interact with to find both.
